Meishar bat Yiron

Meishar bat Yiron was a Jewish woman who lived in Judea during the 1st century AD. In 25 AD, she headed to be baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist, but she became hungry; Jacob of Jordan collected pomegranates to feed her, and she helped Jacob to force the Roman soldier Felicius Minius to allow for the other Jews to be baptized.
